Help!!! Message-ID: Date: 8 Mar 90 14:52:44 GMT Distribution: na Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 27 Help!!!! I am tring to create a process from within a device driver. I want the process to among other things be able to open a con window and display output. As a base, I started with the proctest example by Rob Peck on fish disk 5. I also made the few changes changes discribed in his book. Then compilied it under Manx 5.0, and executed the program to make sure the code worked. The subprocess runs, I varified this by having it add 2 numbers and return the result. But it won't printf, and won't fd=fopen("test","w"); Manx also doesn't seem to like the line stdout = msg->outpointer; in the program littleproc.c, so I removed it. This would explain why printf won't work, but not why the file doesn't open. What gives? On a second note.... Has anyone had trouble useing the include files in manx 5.0 for the devices like timer and trackdisk. When I compile a program with say #include it tells me their are errors in the include file. It points to lines like #endif !EXECIO_H. To use the include file I had to change all such lines to #endif /*!EXECIO_H*/, then it seemed to work. Why?
